Approaches That Guide Remote Sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and goals. The therapist listens closely and helps people identify their priorities so they can make changes that matter to them.Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about steps forward, such as making lifestyle changes or addressing addictive patterns.
Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Reframing those stories can shift how someone understands problems like relationship conflict or career transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they pick methods that fit the issue and the person’s style, and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and feedback. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, written coaching, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
